How can that be possible when V24 was funded two years ahead of bomber B program?
I think V24 was funded as a bomber engine but without a specific airframe in mind. If V24 got a prototype running then RLM would fund a suitable bomber airframe.
April 1939. Jumo 222 engine prototype first run.
July 1939. Bomber B program funded.
